<p>How hard is the SAT biology e/m subject test when compared to ap bio? I'm thinking about signing up for the test. Is there anything I should study and which prep book is the best for the sat subject test?</p>
<p>If you don’t already have a prep book, don’t take the test in June. You don’t have enough time to retain all of the information needed to do well, ie 700+. Get PR, Barrons, Sparknotes, and the books released by the College Board with Real Tests inside. Study for a few months and take it slow. Don’t take the test until at least October.</p>
<p>But if you’ve already taken AP Biology (it’s not clear from your post whether you have or not) then you should be more than ready. As long as you had a good teacher and paid attention in class. The books are still good for giving a score range though. Even just taking Sparknotes’ free tests available at their website would be more than worth your time.</p>
<p>I have just taken the ap biology test and i am in ap bio right now. Should i take the test?</p>
<p>It depends what you’re aiming for. Whatever it is, if you’re not scoring it on practice tests, chances are you won’t on the real test.</p>
<p>Are freshman allowed to take SAT Subject Tests? I heard that the college board archives your scores after 2 years. Is this correct?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there is no age limit. And I’ve never heard of archiving.</p>
<p>I know this is delayed, and I don’t know if you signed up for the test, but the archiving is for students that take tests in 7th and 8th grade. Just so you know.</p>
<p>I say take it. 
I took it last weekend, just before the AP exam. I only read PR (2007/2008 edition) during the week and did the 2 practice tests that were in there (I studied for ap bio the day after the SAT II). I thought the test was easy (I’m trying not to jinx myself here), and I also thought the AP exam was really easy. I think june would be a prime time to take it. If you don’t do so well, you can always retake it. meh</p>
<p>Hey,
I too am taking the AP biology subject test (M) on June 4. A little less than a month away. I am in an AP bio course. However, the teacher didn’t prepare us well for the AP exam. I did do some self-studying, and I am hoping I got a 5 on the exam (I know I got no less than a 4). I would like to know is a little less than a month not enough time to study, given my background. I would also like to know what brand of prep book I should use. Some say barrons and others say PR.
Help! Thanks:D</p>
